Bring Hokage to Datang

"Welcome His Highness back home!" Li Chengming had just jumped out of the car, and Wang Fusheng and others who were standing in front of the county government office all bowed to him.

Li Chengming glanced at these people, then waved lightly and said, "No need to be polite, everyone get up!"

"Thank you, Your Highness!" After hearing Li Chengming's words, Wang Fusheng and others said goodbye again, bowed, and then stood up.

When Wang Fusheng saw Li Chengming about to walk in, he quickly stepped forward, cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Your Highness probably hasn't eaten yet. Your Highness has already had some food and wine prepared. If Your Highness doesn't mind, please move on." ..."

"No need, I have already eaten outside, and I understand Magistrate Wang's kindness!" Before Wang Fusheng could finish his words, Li Chengming waved his hand to interrupt him.

"Uh..." Wang Fusheng was slightly startled when he heard what Li Chengming said, a look of hesitation flashed across his face, and he was a little stuck.

"Why, County Magistrate Wang is waiting for me here specially, and there are other things?" Seeing the look on Wang Fusheng's face, Li Chengming raised his eyebrows and asked.

"This... Your Highness is wise!" Wang Fusheng bowed to Li Chengming and said, "I am here to apologize to His Highness. Previously, I was so confused that I sent those two maids to serve Your Highness without permission. Why don't you please Your Highness, forgive me!"

"Oh, what are you guilty of in this matter?" Looking at Wang Fusheng who was bowing, Li Chengming smiled lightly, "I haven't thanked the magistrate Wang yet, so why did you give me such a beautiful woman like a flower?!"

Hearing Li Chengming's words, Wang Fusheng was startled. He raised his head cautiously and looked at Li Chengming's expression. He didn't know whether Li Chengming's words were true or false. But when he saw Li Chengming's faint expression, Wang Fusheng was startled, and then lowered his head, "Don't dare. I don’t dare, it’s because the lower official is confused, and I still ask His Highness to punish him!”

He also didn't forget the news he got from other people today. Although he was young, this king of Runan County was very capable. Otherwise, how could he have escaped from the heavy siege of Qin King Li Shimin, and also gathered a group of people? So many people. 35xs

It is said that Li Hongdao, the magistrate of Wannian County, had his head chopped off because he was Li Shimin's subordinate.

If it weren't for the people he took refuge with in the first place, he might have been killed today.

Seeing that Wang Fusheng was quite smart, Li Chengming raised the corner of his mouth and said with a slight smile, "Since Magistrate Wang is so polite, wouldn't it mean that I am not giving you face by not punishing you?"

"Deserve the punishment, deserve the punishment. This is the honor of the lower official!" Wang Fusheng nodded hurriedly.

"Then I will punish you... well, kneel down in the lobby for three hours facing the plaque that says 'Frugality and integrity'. What do you think?" Li Chengming thought for a moment and then said. 35xs

"Yes, thank you, Your Highness, I will accept my punishment!" After hearing Li Chengming's words, Wang Fusheng's back became wet, and then he bowed to Li Chengming respectfully and saluted.

Judging from the punishment Li Chengming gave him, what the Runan Prince said just now was not that simple. If he hadn't been smarter, he might have been left in the cold.

"That's right!" Wang Fusheng suddenly remembered something, then turned to the county government crowd standing nearby and said, "Luo Baifu, why don't you come over and apologize to His Highness!"

As soon as Wang Fusheng finished speaking, a middle-aged fat man wearing white silk clothes walked out of the crowd with a trembling face, leaned over and said, "Common man Luo Baifu, pay homage to His Royal Highness the Duke of Thousand Years!"

Li Chengming glanced at the fat middle-aged man kneeling on the ground, and then looked at Wang Fusheng aside.

Wang Fusheng immediately understood and said hurriedly, "Your Highness, this person's name is Luo Baifu. He is a well-known businessman in Huixian County. He specializes in grain and cloth shops. His family has a lot of wealth. The two maids were given to him by this person." A subordinate."

"Oh?!" After hearing Wang Fusheng's words, Li Chengming nodded slightly and his eyes fell on the middle-aged fat man.

Feeling the eyes falling on him, the middle-aged fat man kneeling on the ground couldn't help but tremble slightly. He saw Li Chengming punishing Wang Fusheng just now. He would not be naive. Li Chengming really would not do anything to him.

Luo Baifu's heart was full of bitterness. He never thought that he wanted to flatter Wang Fusheng, the county magistrate, so he gave Wang Fusheng the sister he had been carefully cultivating. In the end, he brought disaster to himself. He failed to steal the chicken but lost a lot of rice. He lost his wife and lost his troops.

"Your Highness, please forgive me. The common people are willing to donate stones of food and grass to help Your Highness achieve his great cause!" Luo Baifu knelt on the ground and begged sadly.

Fifty thousand stones of food and grass?

Hearing this number, Li Chengming couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. If he remembered correctly, when he was in Wannian County, Xue Wanche only collected stones of grain and grass from the county treasury, right?

This middle-aged fat man named Luo Baifu actually donated stones of food and grass in one breath. Doesn't this guy have more wealth than the treasury of Wannian County?

I read some historical data before, and it was said that before the Sui and Tang Dynasties, although the court seemed to control the world, the masters of the entire world were actually the noble families and landowners. It seems really good.

Even a small wealthy businessman can easily provide shi of food and grass. How rich must those famous people with five surnames and Qiwang be?

By the way, the current Li and Tang royal family was once one of the world-famous Five Surnames and Seven Hopes, the Li family of Longxi.

"Okay, since you are so thoughtful, I won't care about this." The social situation is like this. Before he really has the ability to fight against the world, Li Chengming will not be stupid enough to go against the entire world's noble families. If that is the case , I am afraid that if Li Shimin knew about it, he would wake up from his dream with a smile.

"Xue Wanche, it's up to you to receive the grain and grass donated by Luo Baifu." Li Chengming ordered Xue Wanche who was standing aside.

"The general will obey your orders!" Xue Wanche said with joy, cupping his fists.

War depends on food and grass. Without food and grass, without food, who will sacrifice their lives for you?

Although they had collected shi of food and grass from the treasury of Wannian County before, which was enough for thousands of them to use for two or three months, in the future, they would have more and more soldiers, and then only shi of food and grass would definitely be needed. If it's not enough, it would be great to be able to increase stones of food and grass at once.

"Okay, I'm tired, you all should stand down!" Li Chengming didn't care about the tens of thousands more stones of food and grass. He didn't even look at Luo Baifu who was kneeling on the ground. He waved his hand and then faced the county. Walking into the backyard of the yamen...
